A multitude of reasons. He wanted to lower corporate taxes, upgrade our already monstrous military, continue our evil drone strikes and wars, start a new war with Iran, use less and less diplomacy in regards to Syria, wanted to DEFUND planned parenthood, was a mormon who made out contributions to his church as 'charity', chastised people for asking about the legalization of Marijuana, is an anti-gay bigot, does not pay his taxes but instead hides his money in other countries, opposed abortion rights, is an advocate of deregulation, said that it is unethical to fund FEMA because it means 'borrowing money from China' to do it, was going to try turning medicare into a voucher system for my generation, repeatedly lied regarding Chrystler and the removal of jobs from Ohio to China, actually outsourced jobs to China through Bane Capital, would not release his tax returns, and incorrectly views our government as, fundamentally, a business to be handled as such. Don't get me wrong, Barack Obama is an evil man as well. But a wolf in sheeps clothing that does this and that to satiate its pray is better than a wolf whose motivation and agenda is clearly anti-thetical to the correct and moral path. Romney is a symptom of a large problem, a tumor that is the inevitable sum of the many years conservatives have spent insisting upon the morality of 'profits over people'.
